Also it is interesting:is it true or no:
"According to Al-Aqsa Foundation, the Israeli forces demolished more than 1,200 mosques during 1948 alone.
Israeli occupation authorities have turned 18 mosques into Jewish synagogues. It added that other 16 Muslim places of worship were turned into animal farms, pubs and restaurants."

It seems they happened also in our times, because Israeli media report:
"Israel Police's most senior officers decided Monday to raise the level of alert over possible attempts by extreme right-wingers to attack mosques in Israel as revenge for the Palestinian destruction of synagogues in former Gaza Strip settlements."

For quantrill: I do not know about this organisation. If I would believe everything 100 percent I will not ask. But your answer is not an answer here. Your link about conquests .. I may indicate you places where Catholic churches were built on pagan sanctuaries as well in Europe. Are we talking about Middle ages and about a state pretending to a state with western values?

No, it is not true. No mosque has ever been turned into a synagogue.

I do know of several synagogues that were demolished by arabs, though (e.g. all of the sysnagogues save one (!) by the Jordanians in the Old City of Jerusalem and the one by grave of Joseph in Shechem [Nablus]).
Also, your irrelevant point about Jewish extremists going after mosques is pointless. This NEVER happened. Either the authorities were just worried about it, or they stopped it somehow before it happened, or they were just trying to "spook" people.

According to reality the muslims built one of their mosque on the holy place where the Holy Temple should be! Also according to reality terrorists keep blowing themselves up all around Israel killing people, including themselves and injuring others!
Not all muslims are terrorists. But how would you feel if you lived in a country where some people are walking bombs?

So according to a terrorist organization bent on Israels destruction....


Give me a break. Israel offered full citizenship to all Arabs in Israeli territory in 1948.

Also take a look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_non-Muslim_places_of_worship_into_mosques

Put the shoe on the other foot, please. Israel returned Gaza to the Palestinians and one of the first things they did was destroy the Synagogues there. I have pictures of it. Neither one is any better than the other.
